Worship – October 13, 2013

Call to Worship
Praise God!
Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
we have been given new life and a glorious future!

Come into his presence with praise and thanksgiving,
with laughter and song.
Give thanks to him and praise his name!

—based on 1 Peter 1

 

Come Ye Sinners
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus, ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, joined with power
He is able, he is able
He is willing, doubt no more

Come ye needy, come, and welcome
God’s free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
Without money, without money
Come to Jesus Christ and buy

Come, ye weary, heavy laden
Bruised and broken by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all
Not the righteous, not the righteous
Sinners Jesus came to call

Let not conscience make you linger
Nor of fitness fondly dream
All the fitness he requires
Is to feel your need of him
This he gives you, this he gives you
‘Tis the Spirit’s rising beam

Lo! The incarnate God, ascended
Pleads the merit of his blood
Venture on him, venture wholly
Let no other trust intrude
None but Jesus, none but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good

Your Grace Is Enough
Great is Your faithfulness, O God
You wrestle with the sinner’s heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of your salvation
And all your people sing along

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

Confession of Faith
We believe in Jesus Christ
who was of David’s line, born of Mary,
who was truly born, ate and drank;
was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate,
truly crucified and died while those in heaven,
on earth, and under the earth beheld it;
who also was truly raised from the dead,
the Father having raised him,
who in like manner will raise us also who believe in him –
his Father, I say, will raise us in Christ Jesus,
apart from whom we have not true life.

—Ignatius of Antioch, 110 AD

 

Our God Alone
Who formed the mountains
And filled the oceans
Our God alone, our God alone

Who took the dust
And breathed life in us
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who came from heaven
For our redemption
Our God alone, our God alone

Who died for sin
That we may live
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who rose again
Death could not win
Our God alone, our God alone

Who is returning, bringing a Kingdom
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Sermon
“The Father Who Grounds Us”
2 Timothy 2:14-19

 

Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father.
True and Living God.
Be merciful to us and forgive our sins.
Heal us from unbelief, fear and pride.
Renew within us steadfast spirits
that find rest and peace in you alone.
Restore joy where there has been barrenness of spirit,
and hope where we have been skeptical.
Cause your Word to penetrate to our hearts,
and shape us into a transformed people,
who not only profess, but also live
the Gospel before a world
in need of your good news.
Through Jesus. Amen

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus Died My Soul to Save
I stand amazed at your love for me
That lonely night in Gethsemane
This sinner’s heart can’t help but thrill
To hear you pray, “Father, not my will”

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

Atonement full, applied to me
The blood that spilled at Calvary
Has swallowed all my sin and shame
I’m reconciled, in Jesus’ name

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

O such pleasure, O such pain
The Father’s wrath and fury laid
On Christ whom saints and angels praise
Jesus died my soul to save

Come you broken, bound by sin
And let your weary journey end
Come and lay your burdens down
Where mercy rules and peace abounds

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save
Jesus died my soul to save

Worship – March 17, 2013

Call to Worship
Who among the gods I like you, O LORD?
Who is like you – majestic in holiness,
Awesome in glory, working wonders?
In your unfailing love you will lead
The people you have redeemed.

In your strength you will guide them
In your holy dwelling

—Exodus 15:11 & 13  (NIV, 1984)

Prayer of Confession
Almighty God, you know
that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves:
Keep us both outwardly in our bodies
and inwardly in our souls,
that we may be defended from all adversities
which may happen to the body,
and from all evil thoughts
which may assault and hurt the soul;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

—Book of Common Prayer

We Will Run
Create in me a clean heart,
For I have turned my face from you
Save us from our ways O God, O God
For we have turned away from you
Lord have mercy

We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world, make all things new
Make all things new

Your love and mercy build and shape us
Break us and recreate us now
Lord have mercy

We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world, make all things new
Make all things new
(repeat)

O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you

We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world, make all things new
Make all things new

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
(repeat)

Confession of Faith
In the light of divine grace, we recognize ourselves to be a Church of sinners.

We require forgiveness daily, and live only through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  He redeems us from our isolation and unites us into a living Church of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

—from the Moravians: The Belief of the Church – ‘The Ground of the Unity’ of the Unitas Fratum in 1957)

Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Immortal, invisible
God only wise
In light inaccessible
Hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious
The ancient of days
Almighty, victorious
Thy great name we praise

Unresting, unhasting
And silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting
Thou rulest in might
Thy justice, like mountains
High soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
Of goodness and love

To all, life thou givest
To both great and small
In all life thou livest
The true life of all
We blossom and flourish
As leaves on the tree
And wither and perish
But naught changeth Thee

Great Father of glory
Pure Father of light
Thine angels adore thee
All veiling their sight
All praise we would render
O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor
Of light hideth thee

Walter Chalmers Smith, 1867.Tune, ST. DENIO, traditional Welsh hymn melody

Sermon
Believing Something About the Holy Spirit — The Uncertainty We Cast on Our Own Faith
Psalms 51:1-12

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen
